Hi Raeed,

Your current code selects links that are children of contact info class elements. The syntax you're looking for, to select unordered lists of the contact-info class, is:

ul.contact-info  {
  font-size: 0.9em;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

'none' is the value you want to use to remove list-styling, as well.

Hope this helps!

Just adding a bit more here to help people grasp what's going on. Ems are relative to the element, specifically the current element. So for example, you could have font-size defined on a parent div like below and then define font-size yet again on a span element within that div using ems. So, the span element's font-size will be relative to it's parent, in this case 15px when it's all said and done. It's important to keep that in mind when working with ems.

// Styles would be something like this...

div { font-size: 30px; }

span { font-size: 0.5em; }

// The Markup...

<div> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.<span>The font-size in this span is 0.5em, which equals to 0.5x30 = 15px</span> </div>
